Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu
- 1 pound Chicken Breasts Halves, Skinless & Boneless
- 4 slices Thinly Sliced Prosciutto (or Whatever Deli Meat You Have)
- 4 slices Gruyere Cheese (or Your Fave Cheese Or Whatever You Have On Hand)
- 1 whole Large Egg
- 1/4 cups Milk

- 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Canola Or Veg Oil
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Butterfly chicken breasts: Place each breast half on a cutting board and make a horizontal slit through the thicker side, cutting almost to the opposite side.
- Open breast to form to flaps.
- Place once slice of meat and once slice of cheese on one side of each breast half, leaving about a 1/2 inch border.
- Fold chicken over filling.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the egg with the milk.
- In a shallow plate, combine ground almonds, Parmesan cheese, salt & pepper.
- Carefully dip or roll each piece of chicken first in milk mix, then in crumb mix to coat.
- Place butter & oil on a baking sheet; melt in oven.
- Place chicken on baking sheet.
- Turn to coat in the butter mix.
- Bake about 35 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time, until browned on the outside and cooked through.
- This technically makes 4 servings.
- But if chicken breasts are large you can cut in half.
